Aim / Objective: The (24, 12) binary Golay code was a well-established rate-1/2 short block-length linear error detecting and correcting code with High performance. Algorithm / Simulation: This paper investigates the design of an efficient low-complexity soft-decision decoding architecture for this Golay code. A new algorithm is introduced that takes a huge advantage of the code's properties to reduce and simplify the decoding process. Findings & Results: The Simulation result shows that the
